SimetriSiti is Malaysian recording artist Siti Nurhaliza's seventeenth solo studio album and her sixteenth Malay-language album. It was released by Universal Music Group (Malaysia) in collaboration with her own record company, on 10 May 2017. Recorded in March and April 2017, the album was a collaboration between Malaysian and Indonesian composers, lyricists, and producers.
Pre-order for an exclusive edition of SimetriSiti was made available on Lazada Malaysia on 5 May 2017, and all 300 available copies sold out in 20 minutes. "Segala Perasaan" (All of My Feelings), the debut single for the album, was released on 28 April 2017.
In November 2016, she revealed that prior to her 3-week holiday trip, she requested Aubrey Suwito to make an announcement on his Facebook page in search of new songs for her latest album. She also requested a number of Malaysian and Indonesian artists to provide songs to her, including and . Until November 2016, she has received more than 300 song submissions, including from Indonesian songwriters. She commented on her song choices as, "I am not too picky [whether they are] new or old composers, what is more important is that their songs have to be easy to be accepted and catchy. But, I still prioritize good and mature song arrangement quality."
The whole process, from vetting and finalizing the song candidates to recording the entire album took her and her team five months to finish. For the first four months, she had to attend few listening sessions several times before choosing the best 10 songs. The best 10 songs were chosen based on votes by her, her management, and her recording company. To prevent bias during the song selection, it was done without prior knowledge of the composers' identity.
The total album production cost for SimetriSiti is cited to be roughly RM 100 000.
Although originally scheduled for March 2017 release, the recording process for the album only began early March 2017. At early stages of the recording, she admitted that she had difficulty in singing some of the songs due to poor health. However, with proper training from her vocal teacher, she was able to complete the recordings in the stipulated time. She commented, "Initially, I felt as if I was not ready to record my first and second songs, but, thankfully, when listening to the pieces again, I found that the songs presented a different side of my vocals."
During the early stages of the album planning in January 2017, she revealed that one song from the album will be recorded in Mandarin. However the idea was scrapped leaving her with one track less. A last minute idea, she decided to pen and compose a song specially dedicated to her fans, "Penghiburku" (My Entertainers). Before composing the song, she had a rough time in composing a complete tune. The inspiration for the music came to her when she was visiting her step daughter-in-law, who was in labor in March 2017. She recalled the moment, "[I] didn't expect for "Penghiburku"'s melody to strike [my] mind when I was accompanying [my] step daughter-in-law. I immediately recorded the melody with my phone and sent it to Aubrey to be produced." When she submitted the demo to Sze Wan, she suggested to Siti that some rapping to be included in the upbeat song which led to the involvement of Joe Flizzow to provide the additional verses. The lyrics for "Penghiburku" on the other hand, were composed by Siti on the day of recording itself.
